Broughton Place, Scottish Borders

It was designed by Basil Spence in the style of a 17th-century Scottish Baronial tower house.

In 1935, professor Thomas Renton Elliott,[1] and his wife commissioned the Edinburgh architectural practice of Rowand Anderson, Paul & Partners to build the house.

It was designed by the young and still unknown Basil Spence, then a partner in the firm, in a style far removed from his later modernist architecture.

The house is brick-built and Harled, with wooden panelling and decorative plaster ceilings in the interior.

Broughton Place is situated on the site of an earlier house owned by John Murray of Broughton, secretary to Bonnie Prince Charlie during the Jacobite Rising of 1745.
